2 seconds earlier and it wouldn't have been up to B.

I'll do C for Canterbury Scene

Soft Machine - Moon in June



(by the way, no worries about repeating genres -- that can lead to more variety of music within categories)

How could I forget Yacht Rock? Listened to quite a bit of it.

For another Z, expect some Zeuhl not DUN (or another Dun track), Zolo.

Cardiacs - Big Ship

I don't know about that to be honest. It's just movie soundtracks, film music... 

Watched Once Upon a Time in the West a little while ago. Brilliant movie and music. 
Also watched rather poor Italian poliziotteschi just because Morricone did the soundtrack. LOL



Well people will label just about anything as genres to satisfy their obsessions with classifications. That said, something like the spaghetti western soundtracks being made by Morricone, Franco Micalizzi, Bruno Nicolai and Alessandro Alessandroni have a particular flavour to them. Soundtracks are incredibly varied of course in the kinds of music on them, and I'm a big soundtrack collector. John Zorn liked to do his take on this kind of music. I love Morricone for different periods of his music. I've probably listened to the soundtrack of the poliziotteschi without watching it.

Anyone know the yodeling genre? I can only think of it's inclusion in Hocus Pocus by Focus.

Thinking about it, maybe the yodeling cowboy branch of the genre. Gene Autry would yodeling some.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Y is for Yacht Rock, mateys....
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

Love to hear it.
